St John's Church, Wolverley, Worcestershire

Last Sunday we based our walk around the canal between Wolverley and Cookley, near Kidderminster. It was warm enough for us to sit outside the Lock Inn for half an hour to eat our lunch, and Spring was bustin' out all over.

 

St John's Church is seen over the canal and the River Stour

 

According to Wikipedia:-

 

'St. John's Church

Woverley's Church of England and parish church is dedicated to St. John. It is claimed as a tradition that there has been a church or chapel on the site since Anglo-Saxon times. The first documented evidence of a church was the mention of a parish priest in the village in the Domesday Book (1086). A church on the site of the current parish church site has been in deanery of Kidderminster since the 13th Century. The current building was consecrated on 20 September 1772, and belongs to the Church of England.'

 

To which I would only add "Where did they get that porch?"
